Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The proposed legislation essentially increases the aggregate amount of outstanding notes from $200 million to $500 million for Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle (GARVEE) Bonds. The use of GARVEE Bonds is a financing tool available to State DOTs that allows State DOTs to pay the capital cost of a federal aid eligible project over an established financing period by committing its existing and future annual federal aid funds. The increase in the aggregate amount does not provide any additional federal aid funding to the WVDOH and any costs associated with the increased aggregate amount of outstanding notes would only occur should bonds be issued. These costs would be part of the established annual payment for principal and interest on the bonds and administrative costs.
